USA

So we are back in the USA and have been for about a month now. We are now living in Olathe with the parents until our house is available in Lawrence. It is being rented right now. We are planning on moving back into it July 1st. I am now looking for a job.... anyone know of one? I have never really looked for a job before. I mean since I was 15 I always taught and performed violin for my job. I never really have done or needed to do anything else. So now I feel like a fish out of water looking for work that is not in my "field of expertise". Hopefully I will find something though to bring in some money and give me a new experience while we are waiting for Kevin to finish his thesis. Who knows how long that will take! Just kidding sweetie...sort of.
So life is still not "settled" but it is good.
Being back from India was strange at first. The things I noticed most were the wide open, EMPTY, countryside. Meaning that there weren't people everywhere. Also how clean and sparkly everything seemed for the first week or so.
I thought I would want to eat a bunch of stuff that wasn't available in India that I was craving from the USA, but really when I got back, I didn't have much of an appetite for a while. I guess we had to adjust our bodies to the American food just like we had to adjust our bodies to the Indian food when we first got there.
Actually, last night Kevin and I went out to Indian Palace for dinner with a friend. There were some things I liked better about the Indian food here and some things I didn't like as much as in India. It was a lot less salty, but not cooked quite the same, it wasn't as... crispy, I guess is the best way to describe it. Oh, and it sure cost a lot more here!
Well, we shall see what becomes of this blog now that I may have more to do with myself. Or if anyone even cares to read it!
